Shift Knob

Red__Zed · 03-28-2011, 05:17 PM

Does anybody happen to know the specs on the shift rail spacing on our cars, vs the gears? I know on the Subaru's it's pretty tight, which is why there is such a risk. BMW's also have a really tight clearance, and you can actually ruin the gears by resting your hand on the shifter. On my Civic, I think the only thing it would do was eff up the bushings, since the clearances weren't that tight.

Constructive reply. I'm curious on your take on the SE-R trans problems, or why the Subaru and BMW's owner's manuals recommend against it.

Well..... last time I checked, the query was about a 370Z. And as I said before "That's pure Bovine Scatology"!

Do you know the clearance specs for the shift rail spacing? There's a very real risk they are tight enough you risk damage by resting weight on the shift knob.

Vibrating and shaking really make my knob feel pretty good. Now you're saying I gotta take my hands off of it?!

I'm right handed so I like to steer with that hand as much as possible
